Prayer Letter/Ministry Update

This summer started with the joy of having our daughter, Rebekah, join us - home from college. We had a blast traveling again to Dakar for grad there and for our friend's son's wedding. We camped out in the open, under the stars going and coming. Then several teams have come including a medical team from Norfolk Alliance in Ohio and Global Ventures( a short term program for college age students). The Duecks have another team at present here doing a soccer camp. Then we have a group coming to scout out a possible place for a radio tower for the expansion of our radio station in Conkary. The teams helped us make a difference in the communities. The medical clinic was held in a new area. We treated 175 people and each one was witnessed to, prayed for and given literature. It was received well and we left with an invitation to return again. We taught literacy in another village. The GVers were thrilled to help kids read for the first time!! They also got to pound cassava, hoe the peanut field, cook rice and sauce over an open fire, sleep in a hut and be teased about marrying one of the boys in the village. We held another eyeglass clinic in Timbi. Saw 50 people a day(clinic was two days long), we were able to help most of them. Some had cataracts and we had to refer them elsewhere. Each left with a new set of glasses and a scripture passage in the language that they could read. It was a joy to "watch for the smile." when they smiled big, we knew that we got the right prescription and we all were overjoyed that now they could see and read again!!! The GVers were a big help sorting glasses, signing people in, being pointers, finding the right prescription in the boxes, adjusting glasses and some even found that they could do the testing too. It was a long 6 hours a day but so worth it. English camp started two days later, we had the weekend to rest and prepare. Each girl, Rebekah included, was assigned a level. Dee had made lesson plans for each level, but they had to decide how to teach it and make the necessary posters and games. Each afternoon was set aside for American games- kick ball, dodge ball, softball, volleyball, badminton, basketball and ultimate Frisbee. The kids loved the sports. We had about 20 come so classes were small but that made it easier to get to know the students. Bible stories, and verses started each day. The theme was God's blessing -Who is blessed? Everyone listened well and acted out the stories. The girls did real well, even though the day was long from 8-3. God used this to confirm His will to one girl who was wondering about being a teacher. Another girl was touched with the medical part and is going to look into nursing. The third one excelled in children's work. So we feel it was a great success. God's work was accomplished and His name glorified. They have returned to the states and now our youngest Rebekah has returned to the states too to begin a new school year at a new school Bethel College in Mishawaka, Indiana
Mark for all
